dc.description.abstract | The bursting properties of units recorded in globus pallidus and entopeduncular nucleus were studied in awake cats sitting quietly before and after ipsilateral excitotoxic striatal lesions. A computerized statistical procedure was used to identify and evaluate bursts in the recorded spike trains. Bursts were assigned a quantitative statistical measure of burst `strength' (or improbability) - the surprise value. Before the lesion, 34% of units in the globus pallidus and 60% of units in the entopeduncular nucleus exhibited bursts. Burst units had a significantly slower discharge rate and a significantly greater variability of discharge than non-burst units. The mean length of the interspike intervals immediately preceding the bursts was significantly longer than the overall median intervals in burst units. After the lesion, 21% of units in the globus pallidus and 11% of the units in the entopeduncular nucleus exhibited bursts. Burst units had significantly higher discharge rates and lower discharge variability after the lesion. In contrast, the lesion had no significant effect on the rate or variability of non-burst units. The differences between bursting and non-bursting units in discharge rate and variability disappeared after the lesion. In globus pallidus, the lesion resulted in a significant reduction in the mean number of bursts per unit, surprise value per burst, mean length of bursts, and number of spikes per burst, and a significant increase in the mean discharge rate of burst units. In entopeduncular nucleus, the small number of bursts recorded after the lesion precluded a useful statistical comparison of the effect of striatal lesions on the properties of the bursts. This study demonstrates that removing striatal projections to globus pallidus and entopeduncular nucleus decreases bursting in these nuclei, indicating that intact striatal projections are necessary for the normal production of bursts in these regions. | en_US |
